▲ Smoke billows into the sky from a fire that broke out at a tire shop in Galma-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon, at around 10:20 a.m. on the 30th.
A fire that broke out at a tire shop in Daejeon today (the 30th) was completely extinguished after about 4 hours and 30 minutes.
The fire authorities issued a Level 1 response 18 minutes after receiving the report, deploying 98 pieces of equipment, including two helicopters, and about 230 personnel to battle the blaze. They brought the major fire under control at around 1:30 p.m. and completely extinguished the flames at around 2:33 p.m.
As the fire spread to combustible materials such as tires stored inside the shop, the 565-square-meter shop building was completely destroyed, and parts of adjacent buildings and houses were damaged.
The tire shop was open for business at the time, but the employees evacuated immediately. It has been confirmed that there are no casualties other than two people who returned home after suffering from mild smoke inhalation.
Police and fire authorities plan to conduct a joint investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire and the scale of the damage.
